Hodie nobis de caelo

Sing this responsory during the Christmas season, for its text announces the arrival of peace and a new redemption. Pomponio Nenna’s setting for SATB voices draws on the rich tradition of sacred polyphony. The Latin text speaks of heavenly peace descending upon the earth and the heavens becoming filled with grace, a message of profound joy and spiritual renewal. The composer’s contrapuntal writing provides opportunities for expressive phrasing and careful attention to the text’s jubilant Alleluias. This piece offers a deeply spiritual and sonically rewarding experience, ideal for a choir seeking to explore Renaissance sacred repertoire.
